"O Crux Ave, Spes Unica" is a Latin phrase which means: “Hail, O Cross [of Jesus Christ, you are our] only hope” Until the 1960s, this is how French families taught their children to greet Calvaries all along their fields, by making the sign of the cross.

Etienne, named in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles, is one of the first 7 deacons of the nascent Church. Deacon, from the Greek "diakonos" is the title of glory of Jesus: "the Servant". Etienne, like Jesus, did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life to mold a new world. Thus, Stephen inspired many churches to the ends of the earth to renew the way of thinking and seeing work and true authority.

René's halls were built in 1535, thanks to Jacques Hamelin who obtained from Françoise d'Alençon the right to halls, fairs and markets in this town. They still center the life of the municipality. They were partially demolished in 1847 when the communication route that runs alongside them was created. They were rented until 1932. These halls narrowly escaped demolition. In 2000, the town of René restored them. Source: enpaysdelaloire.com

Founded in the 11th century by the Benedictine monks of the abbey of Marmoutier in Touraine, the Saint-Hippolyte priory is a remarkable testimony to the religious architecture of Haut Maine, which reached its peak in the 13th century.

Located to the south of the village, formerly called Porte Sainte Anne, it took the name of Saint Mathurin following the construction of the chapel of the same name. The Porte Saint Mathurin has undergone many changes over time (notably in 1842 and 1879), but however, the ogival arch is believed to be original. The construction of the Saint Mathurin chapel was decided by Dyonise de Tillon, lady of Maridort, its first holder having been Jacques Grandin in 1575. Inside you can find: The altar table which is an incised tombstone from the 14th or 15th century. It is illustrated by a full-length representation of a deceased woman under a canopy of Gothic architecture. Two statues: Sainte Emérentienne (in terracotta from the 18th century) and Saint Mathurin (in wood from the 16th or 17th century) The altar is surrounded by an oak frame decorated with two escutcheons of the Maridort as well as the top of the vault (three sheaves of golden wheat on an azure field).
